We meet at a community center where there is a rock wall. I asked the parents to register and pay the $4.50 for their daughters before the meeting. Then during the meeting we split the girls into 2 groups. One group went to climb while the other group stayed in the room to work on their safety award.
First, we read the Tula story and talked about it. I explained that fear or being scared is a way that our body tells us to be safe. But that fear shouldn't stop us from doing something but that we should make sure we do something safely.
Then I explained how top rope climbing works and the equipment (shoes, harness, carabiners, rope). I explained how they are safe from falling because of the safety rope and harness.
SAFETY PIN AWARD
While we were inside waiting for our turn to climb, I had the Daisies fill out a form that had their name, parent's phone number and address on it. We talked about what you do when you get lost:
1. Find an adult (mom with child) or police officer;
2. Tell them your name, parent's name and phone number.
Then we talked about what choking is and how to identify it (someone grabbing at throat without coughing). What should they do? Go find an adult fast and tell them someone's choking!
Lastly, we talked about what to do if your clothes catch on fire: Stop, Drop, and Roll!
